Arsenal-Image-Mounter does not work together with virtio disk. about arsenal-image-mounter HOT 6 CLOSED

Really strange. It should not really pick the wrong RaidPort device since we do a check for miniport signature using an IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT call and only if that is successful we pick that device. The miniport signature we check for is "PhDskMnt". Not really sure why virtio drivers would respond "okay" to a request with that signature, if this is what happens.

That was only my guess, based on my quick experiment. It is possible, that I am wrong. (I don't have experience with windows driver development. ) Anyway if I change HDD from virtio to SATA problem goes away.

Okay, just trying to figure out how this could happen. Thanks for your report!

I was eventually able to workaround this issue by modifying source code of aimapi.dll [1].

I basically added code for checking driver version into loop in ImScsiOpenScsiAdapter function. Then after I built it and replaced original aimapi.dll with my custom one, issue was gone. ( It (aim_ll.exe) now works together with virtio disk. )

I also made my workarounded aimapi.dll available in my fork ([2] 64bit, for current AIM version),
in case someone would find it useful.
